The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure awarded a $1.2M Project Grant to Northeastern University from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026 under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070). The grant supports research to develop next-generation resilient cloud infrastructure to secure scientific cyberinfrastructures including network-attached accelerators. Key focus areas include identifying advanced network-layer attack strategies, exploring security concerns with hardware accelerators, and designing efficient defense solutions through a cross-layer hardware/software/network co-design approach. The project will integrate the developed solutions with the Open Cloud Testbed and create benchmarking to enable transition to other research cyberinfrastructures. As a subgrantee, the University of Massachusetts Amherst will be responsible for developing and implementing a trustworthy network on the Open Cloud Testbed, as well as leading community outreach efforts such as workshops and tutorials.
